1.Nap Nanny- We use this all day & all night. He sleeps in this, on our bed, against the wall. No one can roll over on him, he is sitting up in case of choking & the fabric is minky. He falls right asleep, when he isn't awake this is where he is at & that is over half the time. Its also lightweight to carry from upstairs to downstairs (just don't do it with the baby in it :))
2.Grass Drying Rack- Even though I am using bottles for formula, I'm also using bottles for breast feeding along with all the pump materials for breastfeeding. They don't fall out of this & dry super fast. It's easy to cart around & has plenty of room for everything. We leave it right by our bathroom sink for late night feedings.
3.Boogie Wipes- I figure I will use these more later, but I've already used them a lot. He gets boogers of course, but mainly when he has formula on his face. They smell great too!!
4.Life Factory Glass Bottles- I don't like all the controversy about plastic bottles. I really like these, there are 4 oz & 8 oz. We use two 4 oz bottles right now, I would actually even recommend one or two more for convenience!! They have a silicon wrap around them so they won't break & are super easy to clean.
5.Satsuma Scratch mittens- These are the only mittens we own that DON'T FALL OFF!! We have three pairs from target that work OK, but these ones are by far the best & they are super soft. I would recommend buying more than four scratch mittens total whether they are these ones or not, because I always find that they are all dirty when I need a pair.
6.Pacifiers- I'm not sure which brand these are, but we got them at Walmart. They don't have a scoop nipple on them, they are just flat & round. He really doesn't like the scoop ones & neither do I, I don't think they look like a normal nipple if you ask me. But they are lightweight so they don't fall out of his mouth as easily.
7.Medela disposable nursing pads- I wear these all day & all night, because if I didn't, maybe TMI, but I would leak everywhere. They don't bother you & you don' t even realize they are there. Plus you just throw them away when your done with them.
8.Summer Infant Swaddle Me- I really like these, because no matter how much your infant squirms they aren't getting out of these, they velcro shut. They are lightweight so they don't get too hot & they honestly make him stop crying instantly.
9.Pampers Swaddlers Newborn- Matthew is still wearing newborn, but these are by far my favorite diapers, they have a yellow line down the middle & when they pee it turns blue so you know the diaper is dirty, they don't leak, & they have a scoop in the front for when the umbilical cord is still attached.
10.Medela Lanolin- Even though I don't breastfeed 100% of the time, I still do it enough to have cracked/sore nipples & I'm not lying, this instantly relieves the pain.
Love this list, already taking notes!
ReplyDeleteI would agree with all of these, although we used dr.browns bottles we did have some glass ones. & my sister is due in october & just received the swaddle blankets I am curious to see how well they work, everyone is raving about them :)
